Hippolytus

A writer of the early Church, whose personality was enveloped in mystery before the discovery in 1851 of the Philosophumena attributed to his pen (BCW 9:419).

Bibliographical references include: Philosophumena (or Refutation of All Heresies). Text publ. by Miller (Oxford, 1851), Duncker and Schneidewin (Gottingen, 1859) and Cruice (Paris, 1860). Engl. tr. by Legge (1951). See Ante-Nicene Fathers (BCW 11:578).

The Philosophumena is attributed to him by some scholars. Blavatsky quoted the 1860 Greek-Latin edition of Patricius Cruice, who instead ascribed it to Origen (BCW 10:418).
